Are You Kosher?

Personal purity must continually be reinvested in. I wont be posting any thing new or checking email for a few weeks for a time of personal purification called Bedikat Humetz. Its purposes is to free the soul for Passover. You are bound to anger and sin in one form or another as am I. The direct act is in cleaning to destroy the yeast and leavening agent For  Yeast is compared to negativity, revenge and corruption in Berachot 17 a of the Talmud, but yeast is gone only for one week.  For one week one is not bound to the world but united with the freedom of the Holy. Philo of Alexandra wrote this:
“Here again we have a symbol of truth, that none ashe approch the altar should be uplift or puffed up by arrogance, rather gazing on the greatness of God, let him... reduce the overweening exaltation of his pride by laying by low that pestilent enemy—conceit.”
 A week without any leaven saints the week. In preparation one cleans ones soul and abode or what one creates for one's self. Yeshua said in Matt 16:11, “How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?”KJV You must continually leave your definition of the Holy One, materialism, and nationalism. You must  continually ask how have you sinned.

1 Corinthians 3:10-15

 “According to the grace of God which was given to me, like a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another is building on it. But each man must be careful how he builds on it. For no man can lay a foundation other than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if any man builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw,  each man's work will become evident; for the day will show it because it is to be revealed with fire, and the fire itself will test the quality of each man's work. If any man's work which he has built on it remains, he will receive a reward. If any man's work is burned up, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.”
NASU

However, there is a koan  “ to pure no fish.” Jesus said, “Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves; so be shrewd as serpents and innocent as doves.” (NASU Matthew 10:16-17) Enlightenment must meet reality that is the  Torah.
